Part 2
Everyone looked at Yun Yingzhi with angry gazes.
Yun Yingzhi looked at the rabbit cub, who was curled into a ball and motionless. After a moment of thought, he finally understood.
He felt that the rabbit cub must be sleepy. Although the sleeping posture he chose today was a bit unique, it seemed normal enough—he’d heard that children’s sleeping positions were all sorts of strange.
Thinking this, Yun Yingzhi simply picked up the curled-up rabbit cub.
The rabbit cub’s eyes lit up, and happy bubbles sprouted around him as he looked at Yun Yingzhi with sparkling eyes.
[Look, the milk rabbit is already this happy just by being picked up. The Tough Guy must normally neglect him a lot.]
Yun Yingzhi stuffed the rabbit cub into his collar and continued with his work.
The rabbit cub poked out half his head, pulled a face as he looked at the egg cub, and fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a bit, the rabbit cub climbed from Yun Yingzhi’s collar onto the workbench and patted Yun Yingzhi with his paw again.
Having successfully attracted Yun Yingzhi’s attention for the second time, the rabbit cub curled himself into a “shut-down” ball once more.
Looking at the rabbit cub, Yun Yingzhi felt that he was expressing a desire to sleep curled into a ball today.
After a moment of hesitation, Yun Yingzhi opened the luggage bag, rummaged through it, took out the rabbit cub’s special blanket, and covered half of the “ball.”
The rabbit cub: “…”
Yun Yinghui, watching Yun Yingzhi’s bizarre move via livestream: “…”
Yun Yinghui reached out and covered his face. He felt the rabbit cub was about to explode.
At the same time, everyone watching the livestream felt even more sorry for the rabbit cub.
Master Tang and Master Ted glanced at each other and let out silent sighs.
Master Tang couldn’t hold back anymore. He looked at Yun Yingzhi and said, “Contestant.”
Yun Yingzhi looked at Master Tang.
The rabbit cub crawled out from under the small blanket, shook his fur, and stared at the egg cub, who was spinning circles in Yun Yingzhi’s collar and exuding a happy aura.
At this moment, no one except Yun Yinghui knew that the rabbit cub’s paws were already clenched tight.
Master Tang said, “Don’t you think you’re being too much?”
Yun Yingzhi: “…Huh?”
Just as Master Tang was about to say something more, he, Master Ted, and all the viewers in the livestream suddenly discovered…
The rabbit cub seemed a little… abnormal.
The rabbit cub, who had looked frail and weak before, suddenly displayed astonishing jumping power. With one leap, he accurately latched onto Yun Yingzhi’s chest and then burrowed into his collar.
Although everyone was surprised by the rabbit cub’s jumping power, most people’s reaction was heartache.
[The Tough Guy is too irresponsible. He holds one cub in his arms personally, but makes the other climb by himself?! So biased!]
[Isn’t it just because the white egg has better talent than the milk rabbit? The Tough Guy is looking down on the rabbit cub!]
…
Amidst the frantic stream of comments, Yun Yingzhi looked at the rabbit cub who had burrowed back into his collar, then looked at Master Tang and asked, “Master Tang, did I do something?”
It all happened in an instant.
The rabbit cub threw the egg cub into the air.
A small, translucent white egg appeared in the air in a very high-profile manner, instantly attracting everyone’s gaze.
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelid twitched.
The livestream chat froze instantly.
Master Tang and Master Ted’s hearts nearly jumped out of their chests. They had just received word to “enshrine” both cubs, and now the rabbit cub had tossed the egg cub out?!
Yes, the rabbit cub was the one who made the first move.
After throwing the egg cub out, the rabbit cub leaped into the air as well.
Clearly, the rabbit cub’s target was the egg cub.
The egg cub reacted swiftly, activating its spatial ability in an attempt to avoid the rabbit cub’s pounce. It understood that if the rabbit cub successfully landed on its shell, there was a high probability it would be grabbed and beaten up.
Spatial ripples spread around the egg cub as it attempted spatial travel.
However, in the next moment, the space was locked, forcing the egg cub out of its spatial travel state.
The rabbit cub had obviously anticipated where the egg cub would appear. His tiny body landed on Yun Yingzhi’s workbench before he leaped again, pouncing toward the egg cub.
In the locked space, the egg cub couldn’t use its spatial ability and could only roll its round body to dodge the rabbit cub.
The rabbit cub’s expression was “milk-fierce” as he continued to pounce toward the egg cub.
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids twitched violently.
After all these days, he had a certain understanding of the two cubs.
In the eyes of the “filtered” Yun Yinghui, the rabbit cub was just a weak little milk rabbit. But in Yun Yingzhi’s eyes, the rabbit cub’s overall strength was greater than the egg cub’s.
The egg cub’s spatial ability was useless against the rabbit cub. When the two cubs fought, it was basically the egg cub being unilaterally beaten.
Considering the egg cub was an egg, Yun Yingzhi had once been very worried that the rabbit cub wouldn’t know his own strength and would break the shell. It turned out he had worried for nothing; who knew what kind of species the egg cub was, but its hardness was comparable to the strongest alloy.
The egg cub rolled away in flight while the rabbit cub gave chase.
Yun Yingzhi took a deep breath.
The people watching via livestream were completely baffled.
[Is it just me? Or is the livestream using special effects? Why do I feel like the milk rabbit is incredibly fast?]
[Doesn’t the white egg have spatial abilities? Why is it running? That milk rabbit is just a normal little bunny!]
[Uh, my friend is a staff member for the Star Brilliance Competition. He said the milk rabbit must have also awakened an ability—he locked the space, preventing the white egg from using its spatial ability.]
[…Simply mind-blowing. My jaw, which I just put back, has fallen off again.]
Then they saw the rabbit cub stomping his tiny feet angrily and throwing a small fireball at the egg cub.
The egg cub dodged the fireball and shot a small arc of lightning back at the rabbit cub.
The rabbit cub stopped his pursuit, and the egg cub stopped rolling.
After a second of stillness, the rabbit and the egg began frantically throwing fireballs and lightning arcs at each other.
Thinking of the disastrous consequences of scolding the two bear cubs previously, Yun Yingzhi decided to be more gentle with them to avoid another mental breakdown. He said, “Jiaojiao, Taotao, please stop fighting, okay?”
He tried his best to persuade the two little things in a gentle voice.
[Even so, the Tough Guy’s attitude toward the cubs is too weak. He really won’t be able to control the kids like this.]
[The two cubs are fighting like this, yet he’s still coaxing them so softly. He’s definitely going to be a ‘bear papa’ in the future.]
Just as everyone thought, Yun Yingzhi’s soft persuasion was completely useless.
The rabbit cub’s small flame successfully struck the egg cub’s shell, blackening a small spot, though it didn’t damage the shell at all.
The egg cub threw lightning arcs at the rabbit cub. The rabbit cub’s reaction speed was extremely fast, and he managed to dodge every single one with precision.
While dodging, the rabbit cub spun in circles on one foot as if showing off, looking at the egg cub with a smug face.
[Look at the way the rabbit cub is spinning on one foot. Doesn’t he look exactly like the ‘Battle Bunny’ from the Yaoming Battle Arena?]
[Speaking of which, besides the difference in size, they’re practically identical?]
At the same time, Yun Yinghui received a private message from Jia Qingwan.
[Jia Qingwan: The ‘Battle Bunny’ from the Yaoming Battle Arena?]
[Yun Yinghui: Not quite sure. Apparently, it’s very famous at the Yaoming Battle Arena.]
Seeing the text describing the resemblance to the milk rabbit and noting how many people agreed, Yun Yinghui and his friends immediately became interested in the Battle Bunny of the Yaoming Group.
Especially since some were whispering rumors that the Battle Bunny of the Yaoming Battle Arena was actually the second son of the General’s Manor; their curiosity reached its peak.
Back to the livestream.
The egg cub was likely very angry. It bounced in place, seemingly imitating the way the rabbit cub stomped his feet.
Seeing the egg cub imitating him, the rabbit cub got even angrier. He picked up a pile of source materials—heaven knows how heavy they were, but they certainly weren’t light—and threw them at the egg cub.
The egg cub immediately rolled away to escape.
Seeing this, the rabbit cub hurriedly gave chase.
Yun Yingzhi continued to coax the two cubs anxiously. “Jiaojiao, Taotao, be good. Please stop fighting, okay?”
[It’s useless!]
[The Tough Guy is really not cutting it as a father. He spoils the kids so much; these two already lawless cubs are only going to become more lawless, aren’t they?]
[I never expected that I would be lucky enough to see a live broadcast of a battle between two bear cubs today. Truly interesting.]
Until this moment, the people at the scene and the netizens on the Star Net didn’t realize that because so many things had happened in a short time, they had completely forgotten their previous misunderstanding of Yun Yingzhi.
Back to the two cubs.
The egg cub was likely feeling particularly angry from being unilaterally chased and beaten by the rabbit cub; this time, it didn’t run.
The egg cub stomped its shell angrily and rolled wildly toward the rabbit cub.
Finally, the rabbit and the egg collided head-on, and for a moment, fur flew and the egg bounced.
The rabbit cub, with his fur in a mess, roared: “Ao!”
The egg cub, its translucent shell covered in soot from the flames, bounced up and down.
“No, Jiaojiao, Taotao, I told you before you can’t fight anymore. Why won’t you listen?”
Yun Yingzhi’s voice was full of anxiety.
Some people were even more anxious than Yun Yingzhi.
[Tough Guy, you really can’t do this. Let me tell you how to handle it!]
[First you have to…]
The two cubs completely ignored Yun Yingzhi’s kind words.
Yun Yingzhi’s mental state crumbled; these two cubs were just too difficult to raise.
He sniffled, held it in, but finally couldn’t help it. He slammed one hand heavily onto the workbench.
Instantly, the workbench he struck let out a loud sound. It was the sound of the surface cracking. Thump, thump, thump, thump—the shattered remains of the tabletop collapsed.
At the same time, the two fighting cubs froze. The rabbit cub looked stiffly toward Yun Yingzhi, seeing the workbench shattered into pieces.
Master Tang’s mouth twitched. “Is it my imagination, or are the two cubs shivering?”
[It’s not an imagination. I noticed it too; the two cubs have been shivering.]
[These two bear cubs actually know how to be afraid?]
The rabbit cub stiffly turned his body to look at the egg cub, who was half a meter away from him.
The egg cub’s tiny body was trembling uncontrollably.
At this moment, the two cubs looked particularly “spiritual.”
Yun Yingzhi: “Heh.”
Hearing Yun Yingzhi’s voice, the two cubs trembled even more frequently.
And then…
Then, the rabbit cub suddenly opened his frail little arms toward the egg cub. Immediately after, the egg cub nimbly rolled into the rabbit cub’s embrace.
The two cubs held each other and shivered, looking particularly weak and helpless.
Everyone present: “…”
The people lurking in the livestream: “…”
[What a pair of little cubs showing true friendship in adversity.]
[I just want to say, the Tough Guy is truly a powerful ‘Fighter Jet.’]
[As expected of the Tough Guy’s cubs—they are truly two powerful ‘Battle Cubs.’]
